Chris Matthews, you know the guy that gets a tingle up his leg when Obama speaks, the one that said it was his “job” to make sure Obama is successful, says that the Dow Jones is Obama scorecard.

Chris Matthews said, “I thought 8,000 was the floor, and it looks like 6,000 is the floor. People are angry, I’m getting angry.”

I know we are all busy people. We have work, kids, pets and nifty TV shows to watch. I’m so surprised though that people have not taken to the streets in protest over this Stimulus bill. Has the mindset of America’s people looking for a quick fix without looking to the consequences really truly taken over? Are people afraid because the media says if you aren’t for this bill then you must be uncaring, that you must be an awful person not wanting to help those who are hurting?

Please leave your comment on why you feel that there isn’t more outrage about this Stimulus Bill.

Socialist Presidential Candidate Advocated Executive Caps In 2008 Campaign; Says, “This is Good Start Toward Socialism”

TAMPA BAY (Spring Hill), FLORIDA, February 5, 2009 —President Barack Obama, who on Wednesday imposed $500,000 caps on senior executive pay for the most distressed financial institutions receiving federal bailout money, saying Americans are upset with “executives being rewarded for failure,” has joined his 2008 minor party opponent who called for executive caps throughout the presidential election campaign.

Brian Moore, the Socialist Party USA presidential candidate in the 2008 presidential elections, stated on the “Issues” page of his presidential website (www.votebrianmoore.com) to “Cap and reduce corporate profits and excessive executive salary levels while fostering the transfer of corporate ownership and control to workers.”

Moore continually advocated in his radio and television interviews, and in debates and presidential forums throughout the 2008 presidential campaign, that there should be a “worker/CEO ratio of no more than 5 to 1.”

The Socialist Party platform also states in its “Economics” section that ” We call for …a maximum income [for executives] of no more than ten times the minimum.”

Moore does embrace Mr. Obama’s criticism of corporate executives when the President was recently quoted that such exorbitant pay is “exactly the kind of disregard for the costs and consequences of their [corporate and capitalistic] actions that brought about this crisis—a culture of narrow self-interest and short-term gain at the expense of everything else.”

Moore further added in point 32 of his website Issues page that “During transition to full worker control, [we should] require the private sector to implement a fairer economic system of consumer costs, profit-margins and regulation of services and products.”

The former Socialist candidate said that he disagrees with the President’s quote, as reported today in The New York Times (Thurs., Feb. 5, 2009) that “We don’t disparage wealth. We don’t begrudge anybody for achieving success. And we believe that success should be rewarded….but what upsets people are executives being rewarded for failure…”

Moore disagrees with President Obama’s mindset, arguing that that is the trouble with capitalism, it focuses on profit and individual success and wealth instead of focusing “on production for the needs of the community instead.” Moore contends that “success can also be rewarded under socialism, but not exorbitantly, or at the expense of the common good.” “That is where we differ from Mr. Obama and his capitalistic mindset, his capitalistic political party and the faltering capitalistic economic system which our country is presently burdened by,” the former socialist candidate stated.

Moore says that Socialism stands for “a fundamental transformation of the economy,” and that only a “global” transformation from capitalism to democratic socialism will provide the conditions for international peace, justice and economic cooperation.

Moore argues that Socialism is seeking a “classless society,” one that is fairer and more egalitarian, and where the majority of citizens can benefit from a more democratic economic system, instead of rewarding only the select few at the top. “An executive salary cap, as a bailout condition, is a good start, in our direction toward socialism,” Moore happily stated.

To his critics: “I reject these theories, and so did the American people when they went to the polls in November and voted resoundingly for change,” Obama writes in a Washington Post op-ed. “We can once again let Washington’s bad habits stand in the way of progress. Or we can pull together and say that in America, our destiny isn’t written for us but by us. We can place good ideas ahead of old ideological battles, and a sense of purpose above the same narrow partisanship. We can act boldly to turn crisis into opportunity and, together, write the next great chapter in our history and meet the test of our time.”

As far as turning this crisis into opportunity, it is Obama’s opportunity and that of the far left to push through their agendas. Most Americans do not believe in this bill and it’s at this time that I would like to remind Obama that he works for the American people.

And for that “Change” he mentions above, Obama was intentionally vague, allowing people to project their own hopes onto him. It was one big, huge, Obama infomercial, only this one didn’t come with a money back guarantee.
